I knew what I wanted to make as soon as I saw this stitch pattern. It’s an interesting way to dress up the utilitarian beanie too. The band is knit flat & then joined to knit the top of the hat in the round. ...

This hat is a great first time lace knitter’s project & uses the same lace pattern as my Low Tide Mitts.

I love the designs of nature, this lace pattern reminds me of a riverbank or lake shore that shows up when the water level drops. They are wonderful, soothing designs that the waves have left in the bank. I made mine out of silky soft merino so it envelopes your hands in warmth like a warm water.
